Manchester City will be bidding to defend their crown, Manchester United will hope they can get closer to their neighbours this season, Tottenham will have to get to grips with their new stadium, Liverpool have bought impressively and Chelsea and Arsenal are both under new stewardship, but what do the former England pair make of the sides?

Carragher: " I look at the points total City got and I don't see them doing that again, I think it will be virtually impossible. If you used to get 90 points in the Premier League that was an absolute guarantee of winning the Premier League. Now, I think you might have to go 90+ to win it and that is a tall ask for the rest of the teams in the league.

"I think City could drop another 10 points from what they got last season but still I think it would possibly be enough to win the Premier League."

Manchester United

Carragher: " I actually think Jose Mourinho hasn't helped himself in this pre-season with the way things have happened but I do think he gets a little bit too much criticism, even for the job he's done at Manchester United.

"Last season they were runners-up in the league and runners-up in the FA Cup and okay, that's not good enough for Manchester United but I don't think it's as bad as people have painted it."

Tottenham

Neville: " There is a lot stacked up against Tottenham this season when you look at it but the spirit, togetherness, continuity and stability is there. The manager looks after the players and has them playing his way, so I think Tottenham will finish above Arsenal, who are one of the intriguing parts of this season."

Liverpool

Carragher: "Everyone's talking about Liverpool and with good reason. You look at getting to a Champions League final and having Virgil van Dijk for a full season. We've seen the impact he made after arriving in January. The goalkeeping situation has given everybody a massive lift.

"So at this moment, on paper, Liverpool do look the strongest challengers."

Chelsea

Neville: " It looks like they are making a move again. To win the league they have to keep Eden Hazard and get a centre-forward. Alvaro Morata is a good player but I think about the void left by Diego Costa.

"If they are going to play a single striker, which they historically have, then they need another one.
